Not Giving Up

How many times have you felt like giving up?

For me the number must reach the thousands. I regularly find myself running out (temporarily) of the emotional and mental energy to continue.

And then I continue. Like you do, if you’re reading this.

It sometimes looks like everybody else manages just fine, and that we’re the only ones who experience those moments.

Which is why they say that it is good to talk about it.

Which it is.

Well done to all of us, not just for being here and managing to make the best of it, but for actually creating objects and moments of wonderful, awe inspiring beauty, through our actions and our art.

We could do better, but we don’t do half as badly as our consciences sometimes try to tell us.
